    I think people, particularly non-musicians, get WAAAAY confused about what great drumming really is, in the same way they're confused about guitar players.. The busy, technique driven, exhibition style drummers get all the attention, but THIS is what the best drummers do.. Stay in the pocket, understand their role in the song and provide that unmovable backbeat.. I'll take this kind of drummer ANY day over a noodler..

      @flops0317 4 года назад +9

      I agree and disagree with you at the same time. I think what you described is what makes a good drummer. But if you ask me then the greatest drummers serve the song not only by staying in the pocket, but by expanding upon them WITHOUT going overboard and butchering the song in the process. Don't get me wrong, this is great drumming, but I'd prefer someone with a more eccentric playstyle, since that makes the entire song more interesting.

    • @carlbamburg7439
      @carlbamburg7439 4 года назад +6

      @@flops0317 I don't disagree with your point, however I'm simply pointing out that MOST of the general public DOESN'T understand the value of this type of drumming.. Oddly enough though, the general public BUYS this approach overwhelmingly.. Compare the worldwide sales figures of Shania Twain, AC/DC and Def Leppard (yes, all produced by Mutt) to Rush, Dream Theater, Zappa or ANY of the blast drummer bands sales of the day.. They're ALL fabulous but there is enormous value in drummers that do what Elijah is doing on the Shania gig..
      In fact, Elijah can and has done both, ask HER what the better job is..

      Mutt Lange single-handedly changed the trajectory of rock music. Groups like AC/DC, Def Leppard, Foreigner, Shania Twain, The Cars, are just a few launched into stardom by Mutt Lange. Rarely a harsh word about his demanding perfection. Everyone trusted him and did as asked.
      A young Joe Elliot from Def Leppard was pushed to sing at an octave or two higher than he thought he could, did it just to get Mutt of his case. The resulting vocals are the trademark Joe Elliot we hear today. No one sings it better than Joe Elliot.

    To play in a big production, in an act on this level, you have to be consistent night after night, with no mistakes allowed. That’s a skill set not all drummers, even technically accomplished ones, have. People don’t get hired for acts like this unless they can be relied upon to support the song consistently and reliably. Good on you Elijah. Cover band drummers like me would love to have that gig. Keep rocking and having fun.

    • @CarcPazu
      @CarcPazu 6 лет назад +10

      Well, this is not Death Metal. Playing this type of beats, stiff like a 2x4, doesn't necessitate that much effort to be consistent. Judging by this performance alone, she's only playing basic stuff that most people that can hold a beat can play. So let's be honest here, she got the gig because 1- She's hot and looks good on a stage, sex sells. 2- She can hold a steady beat and get out of way. Some people here don't bitch because she's bad, they bitch because she's displaying very average skills and because she is showing off with a drumcam for the world to see. People think the skills displayed on this video doesn't warrant to be highlighted by a drumcam. And yes, the title was clickbait, I was curious to see the hobbit play drums.

    • @michaelcaplin8969

      It does. Doing what she does here is on a WHOLE other level from being technically proficient in playing death metal. Technically amazing and even world class show-drummers are a dime a dozen, but drummers like her are really rare. It's a reason she got the gig. Yeah, it probably didn't hurt her job chances that she had a modicum of good looks (if it even is a she, I have no idea to be honest), but there's a reason why fat old guys get gigs just like these as well. They know how to do it.

    I think this drumming performance is awesome. All the people making comments about metal music and this is simple drumming and anyone with any skill can do this is incorrect.
    If you think its really easy to do this then get a metronome and set it at 120bpm and pick any groove you want and play that groove for 5 minutes with no drum fills or cymbal hits and stay
    consistent and record yourself then listen back. I think you'll find out its not as easy as you think. Then take into consideration who your drumming for and the venues your playing.
    The other thing is i think most people are impressed with drummers on youtube playing everything at warp speed and doing all this outrageous drum fills that in reality wouldn't be able to be used in a pro situation unless your soloing. Style through simplicity will land you a great gig like this!

When i first started out i played on a few cruise ships, traveled in both coasts etc. In the past few years started playing pretty decent theaters etc. I think players have no clue what its like to have to be consistent and deal with being on the road and the whole ball of wax. I have never toured with any big acts and maybe i will have the opportunity one day but it takes a lot to perform on that scale and you did a great job. Just an FYI. If your interested i also host a music internet tv show called In Tune. I interview pro performers that are out on the scene making things happen for themselves. If your interested in checking out my interviews you can go to: www.rvntv.tv and scroll down to the entertainment category and look for my In Tune show tile and click on it.
